Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <p.giarru...@gmail.com> added the comment:
>Probably #if the definitions of Py_LIKELY and Py_UNLIKELY instead of __builtin_expect so new compilers can easily add their own definitions. This was done in the first version, but with the currently supported compilers it's simpler to do like that, because both GCC and ICC support the same __builtin_expect syntax, so you get less code this way. Anyway, the code was "inspired" from the Linux kernel which only supports those two compilers, so anybody more knowledgeable is welcome to suggest how to express this with other compilers. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4941> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
